Franchise your own Berryhill: After a decade of success in bringing Baja to the masses, we are looking to add to our family tree. Of course, we know a good thing when we see it (and eat it), and Berryhill Baja Grills blend of palate-pleasing cuisine in a relaxed, inviting Baja-inspired atmosphere is a hit. Our franchising system is based on the belief that our success is dependent upon the success of those in our family. That means we take pride in building solid partnerships with our franchisees, vendors, and employees. Our selection of prospective franchisees is based on an assessment of overall business experience and personal qualifications. We look for enthusiastic individuals with experience and resources to develop multiple-unit operations in the United States and beyond. While our focus is on multi-unit development, single-unit development is considered on an individual basis.
If you've eaten at Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, it is easy to see what sets us apart from the rest. Our fresh food prepared daily, homemade salsas, more than 50 hot sauces and our high-end decor gives guests the casual-style atmosphere with fast-casual convenience that they can't seem to get enough of. Lime has never lost sight of its fresh focus as it expands. All locations have fresh produce delivered daily from local markets and its meats are charbroiled on grills in an exhibition-style kitchen. Guests also have the option of making their meal with whole wheat, multi-grain or low-carb items. Lime's stores are outfitted with Chicago brick and hammered copper countertops, and earth-tone fax-finish walls adorned with custom dark hard wood trim and hanging lime baskets. Entrepreneurs are often attracted to Lime because of its consistent lines out the door, fresh food, atmosphere and over-the-top guest service, all of which has made Lime a favorite since 2004.
